i also have to say, as bad as this was, i think tom ridge was the only person in america who actually cared about the alert system. i mean, we never knew what to do when it was yellow. we never knew what to do when it was orange. you would turn on the radio and hear there was an amber alert and be confused even more. >> ha. there it is. we're looking at it. melinda, how did you change your weekend lifestyle when told it was going to be yellow instead of orange that weekend before the election? i mean, do you wear brown? what do do you? do you wear flashy colors that day? >> the plan was duck tape and bottled water as i recall, wasn't it? remember the duck tape? >> i love the duck tape. if you actually got a successful duck tape there would be no air coming in and you would die. >> it's like if the witch was guilty she sank. right. >> i always liked that one. we'll be right back to talk about health care which also seems to be in code red right now with roger simon and melinda again back by popular demand on "the politics fix" on msnbc. a.
